Sophie & Max Sélection is a distinguished cognac brand founded by the brother and sister duo, Sophie and Max von Olfers, who hail from a third-generation cognac-producing family. Deeply rooted in the rich traditions of the Cognac region, their lineage traces back to their grandparents, who acquired agricultural properties in the area and cultivated vineyards dedicated to cognac production. Growing up immersed in the art of distillation, Sophie and Max developed a profound appreciation for the craftsmanship and heritage of cognac-making.
In 2017, Sophie and Max launched Sophie & Max Sélection with the mission to spotlight exceptional, artisanal cognacs crafted by authentic, family-run producers. Their inaugural release, Sélection N° 1 XO Cognac, set the tone for their commitment to quality and tradition. This limited edition was specially bottled for their first collection, with only 500 bottles produced.
Sophie & Max Sélection offers a series of limited edition cognacs, each reflecting the brand's dedication to quality and the rich heritage of the Cognac region. Their portfolio includes:
- Sélection N° 2 Extra Cognac: This expression is a collaboration with Domaine de Birius, situated in the Petite Champagne region. The cognac is aged for an extended period, resulting in a rich and complex flavor profile. Only 500 bottles were produced, making it a rare and sought-after selection.
- Sélection N° 3 Réserve: Developed in close collaboration with the Bertrand family, this cognac offers a distinct taste and style. It was crafted to provide a unique experience, differing from previous releases while maintaining the brand's high standards.
- Sélection N° 4: This release is characterized by its eclectic mix of distillation methods and a vibrant, rock-and-roll-inspired character. It embodies a free-spirited attitude, appealing to those seeking a lively and unconventional cognac experience.
